After I got married, I never ate a bowl of cereal again. It got me thru my formative years, all that sugar and fortified whatever, but my eating habits have drastically changed.

Who would have thought that I would be eating avocado on toast 3 times a week, or a 7 minute egg with leftover veggies from the night before........and I certainly never thought I would be eating garbanzo beans for breakfast.

If you feel funny about changing up your normal breakfast, then make this for lunch instead. :)

I grew up eating sugar bomb cereal too! As an adult, I still eat cereal at least half the time but something a bit better than Sugar Smacks or Captain Crunch. I love eggs and often eat leftover veggies, when they exist, or yogurt with fruit and homemade granola. Now I'm hungry...got to go check out the fridge and have another cup of tea!

SO Funny as I too, ate cereal Everyday growing up, but then stopped when I started working in my early twenties ONLY to restart again when Seinfeld shows came onto the scene ( never missed an episode!) and Jerry used to eat cereal quite often, it seemed like. It made me want to eat cereal again, so strange. Anyway, few years later, got married and haven't touched cereal since. My eating habits have changed, too.

Cereal for breakfast was big in our house as well! My parents were pretty cool about it - we didn't have to eat the non-sugary Cheerios, Corn Flakes or Rice Krispies like some of our friends. Instead my brother and I ate Cap'n Crunch, Frosted Flakes and Golden Grahams quite regularly.

These days I sometimes buy cereal to eat for breakfast, but tend to lean toward the healthier cereals, although I much prefer eating eggs or oatmeal which are more filling.

I love your idea of combining eggs with legumes, which are healthy & filling. A must try in the next few days.
